Finding the fault in Monbulk
In multi-TV Monbulk homes, which TVs fail tells us where to look. One room only points to that outlet or its cable; every room points to the antenna, its cable or the main splitter.
Where Monbulk's signal comes from
Mt Dandenong: 8.6 km at 296° (west-north-west), VHF horizontal. Monbulk repeater: 3.3 km at 246°, UHF vertical. Expect a compact VHF/UHF combination antenna — or, where the Monbulk repeater meters cleaner, a UHF antenna mounted vertically and aimed at it, confirmed by meter on the day.
Monbulk to Mt Dandenong: the path
Signal from Mt Dandenong travels 8.6 km to reach Monbulk, passing over Olinda (5.6 km out) on the way.
The path to the Monbulk repeater is only 3.3 km, bearing 246° (west-south-west).
Practical tip: stand where your antenna is and face west-north-west. If you can see a big tree, a new two-storey house or a hill within a few hundred metres, that is the first suspect.
Reading the hills around Monbulk
Trees grow; antennas don't. A lot of Monbulk installs worked when they went up and have slowly degraded as the canopy closed in. Raising the antenna on a taller mast, or moving it to the other side of the roof, often restores a path that has been fading for years.
